The Arizona champion., 1887-10-22

IT has boon s(il of several great men wholiyel to seo the wana of their power thlt they hnl missed their oppor- tunity to die. Without chasing Frel- rick Douglass as a great man, he may be sail to hlvo oltliyo his u'e:Iln9I3.
 His recent lecture On the informing. ling of the races i3 reelection of th3
 views of the class of employers who differ from shareholders only in the nature of the contract they mlko with their workman. The sllye-hollar owned his man outright, onl ac2o2tol an ob- igation to care for him in sickno5s and old age. A kindred class is the employer whocombino3 with the others to get labor for the bare cost of the
 aboter's living. When Ftelri;k Doug lass was slave he criel out against the injustice of the system. While he remained a poor man, after his escape from savery, his aympathios were with the working people. Now, when he is comparatively rich and has become ari5t)cnti;, through association with ari t)crat,, he lends his influence, if l he has any, to the class with which he as5osiat,i. Mr. Dourltss prelict5 that Chinese laboror5 will oyer-run the Unitel Stltcs, crowd out the colorel men of tl9 South anl help to crash the white hb2rar in the North. He did not doprc,at, this condition of things. Re favored letting the Chinese come to this country freely, and would give them all the rights of citizens, even the right of int .rmarilge with whites The Southern employer would be glad to become iniaDanloat of the labor of the negro and the short-sightol North ern employer would like to have the Chinese b~clk bown the strikes of white laborers- If Mr. Dou2llss had stated the condition he predicts, to warn la bore-s q -ainst it, ho would have been his old self. But that this emnncipatel slave, this victim of the Northern prcj-
 udice against color, sholll advocate m9l5uro which will reduce his col ord brethren u something like their former condition, can only be acooun- tel for on the presumption that the change ia his own fortunes has workol a change of opinons and sympathieI. Douglass has almost alone rePresen- ted his race in the ofico-holdiny fra.
 tarnity. His stock in trade has been his suppo5ol popularity with his peo- ple- Neit&oc patty dared to dispense with his services for forr that the col orl vote wolll be concentcatei against it. Through long service in fve-thoas
 and dollar office Mr. Dougla55 has be- come in nloponlont. His syADathies are all gone to the Chinese and poor em- ployers who are harassel by strikes.
 It is nothing to him if the negro in
 the South is starved out in the close competition with the Chinese which
 would result from their coming to this country in large nUmbors-nothing to him th..t the wages of the white men in the North should be reduced to stlrvations point, He IS provilel for
 and his race may look out for them sJlve3 In the best days of Mr. Doug llss his judgment on any matter of public policy was not of much value.
 He had a rare faculty of episrammatic speech which in the time of anti-sAvery excitement brought him into promi- nenoe. There is no ground whatever for the prediction that the Chinese will overrun the United Statos On the contrary, there is every reason to be- liege thrt within ton yeRr5 the immi- grltioa of Chinese ltborers will be ab- solutely stoppel. No political party will dare to make this issue with the workingmon of the country.
